The sprawling of global lung cancer combine the use of lung neoplasm screening can lead to chest computed tomography (CT) scanning or its
It scans visible suspicious isolatism pulmonary nodule (SPN) quantity and increases.Suspicious SPN (it is typically found in lung periphery)
It is likely difficult to be approached and diagnosed using mainly for current bronchoscope technology designed by central airway.Periphery lung knot
Section or SPN may be the circular mass of up to 3 centimetres (cm) of measurement, can be benign or malignant.When identifying SPN,
Biopsy may be needed to be diagnosed.In general, fine needle aspiration (FNA) can be used to patient throat or mouth through bronchus
Mode close to the SPN identified and obtains biopsy from it in such a way that the thoracic cavity by patient is through thoracic cavity.In general,
Through bronchus mode compared to through thoracic cavity mode can be advantageous, because can be realized close to SPN by the existing air flue of lung, and
Without perforating to bodily tissue.However, passing through the air flue of lung because SPN is usually located in the deep periphery of lung
It may be difficult or impossible for reaching SPN, it may be necessary to using by piercing through approaching through thoracic cavity mode for chest
SPN.It, may be than being needed more through bronchus mode due to can be considered more more invasive than through bronchus mode through thoracic cavity mode
Recovery time, it is desirable to provide a kind of to be configured to navigation and pass through the zigzag path in the deeps of pulmonary airways or distal part periphery
Device.Such device allows doctor via the SPN through bronchus mode from positioned at the deep or distal part periphery of patient lungs
Biopsy samples are obtained, which is previously passed non-accessible through bronchus mode.Although the disclosure relative to pulmonary nodule into
